We’re gearing up (pun intended) for an exciting time next week in San Francisco, and we’re thrilled to kick it off on Sunday at BSidesSF at City View in the Metreon. We’re proud to sponsor and support this event – an amazing grassroots effort that unites the information security community to share knowledge. With this year’s steampunk theme, the conference promises to deliver inspirational talks, stimulating discussions, and of course, evenings filled with entertaining discourse and delectable libations.

In this new blog post by Crate.io, read about how they are using StackRox to secure CrateDB Clusters on Docker. StackRox complements the authentication, access controls, and encryption added in Crate 2.0 Enterprise Edition with comprehensive threat coverage for well-known attack vectors on containerized database applications. The post discusses why security is important for a database like CrateDB, and how to use StackRox to protect your data – walking you through the deployment process.

This week marked my seventh Black Hat. Every year, I look forward to the event as a time to share industry news and developments – and to connect with my infosec friends who gather in Vegas at this time each year for B-Sides Las Vegas, Black Hat and DEF CON. This time, my trip to Black Hat was particularly memorable and rewarding because I got to bring StackRox to the show at an exciting time.
